First of all i hope i posted in the right thread.
Anyways..Can you actually take a video of your desktop using the already intsalled programs on Windows. Like Print Screen for example.? the way i do it know is connet my computer to the TV, and connect my TV to my computers Tv tuner card. and i use a PVR application to take a movie. But i'm gussing there would be a simpler way. If there is a freeware software that does this, can you post a link to it. |

U may use software like Inspiron or use other software like me. My favourite Desktop Capture SW: 1. Screen Capturing Capture your screen and play back in Flash, Java, GIF, EXE, PDF, AVI http://www.TurboDemo.com 2. ScreenCam ScreenCam® saves the day for guyz just like you. http://www.smartguyz.com/ 3. GrabCaptureScreen 2.0.5.3 Successor of GrabClipSave. Takes screenshots in two modes. "Grabbing" is completely in the background. http://www.boumchalak.net/ And other which I found later on SoftPedia.com (http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Graphic/Graphic-Capture/GrabCaptureScreen.shtml): SnagIt 7.2.5 SnagIt - screen capture program that allows you to capture an exact copy of anything that appears on your Windows screen Print save screen snapshot 2003 1.2 print only what is on your screen with this fast utility.

There's also Camtasia, which I'm sure is very expensive, but (as far as I can tell, after seeig Bob Taylor's LearnVisualStudio.net videos) is very professional. You can make slides, screencams, and have voice recording.

There is also a Freeware program called WINK that takes a series of screen captures and then blends them together. Might want to try that.

Oh yes, I too downloaded CamStudio. It's very nice looking, and doesn't even require admin priveleges to install. I also like the flash converter tool that it includes.

Hmmm...Other than playing, what is the use for these programs? They are somewhat fun, but other than that...

i've been using a software called snagit since quite some time now
its not free but i m very happy with it! so i would recommned you to try it it lets you record exactly that is going on your screen and the output is in the .avi format its not limited to video itself but it can also take pictures and some extra features are also available |
